Abderraouf El Behloul: Algerian midfielder joins USM Bel Abbes on completed move

Algerian midfielder Abderraouf El Behloul has joined USM Bel Abbes, with the 22-year-old central midfielder finalising his move to the club on 28 July 2026.

El Behloul, who operates primarily in central midfield, arrives as a free agent rather than moving directly from another club. The deal sees him return to domestic top-level football after previously featuring in Algeria’s top flight.

Born on 25 March 2004, El Behloul already has major silverware on his CV, having been part of the MC Algiers side that won the Algerian championship in the 2024-25 season. That title-winning experience adds further top-flight pedigree to the Bel Abbes squad as they shape their options in the middle of the pitch.

Capable of playing in the heart of midfield, El Behloul strengthens a key area for USM Bel Abbes, offering depth and competition in the centre of the park. His arrival also underlines the club’s commitment to adding players with proven domestic honours to their group.

The midfielder’s move is registered as a completed transfer, with El Behloul now officially on the books of USM Bel Abbes.
